Review for Southview Assisted Living and Memory Care

Overall it is a good place for my mother since she is still fairly independent. When she moves to the next level of care I will be curious about the services. She is comfortable and safe there and she is frequently checked on. She complains about the food but they have regular food meetings and are receptive to criticism and so try to make changes. It is very helpful to have the gym and physical therapists on site--this keeps her active and moving and she is very fond of the therapists. Overall Southview is good at keeping me informed of what is going on and I have been pleased. I am very involved with helping my mother but I know that if I have to leave town for vacation that she will be well taken care of --I don't have to worry or be anxious.

Our Experience

My mother in law can be a handful and some of the staff has expressed their frustrations to her. I understand completely as I sometimes feel the same, but I do feel like that should never be expressed to the "patient". She doesn't like the food, but she's picky and hardly eats anyways. The options are very good, in my opinion. Some of the staff are great and some have issues, but that's to be expected at any business. The activities are fantastic, but she does not participate in hardly anything.

Overall Nice & Friendly . Needs attention to details.

Mom has taken advantage of many of the amenities at The Gardens. She has loved going to concerts and shopping. Her biggest complaint is the dining room. I have eaten with her several times. The service is rather slow and if you dine late, they will be out of several dishes. There is a lack of places for someone to sit who doesn't want to eat with 5-6 people. She doesn't hear well and lots of people have their "groups" and don't allow a new person to sit with them. They also charge for To Go meals. Food is good. The question you are not asking is maintenance. When mom moved in the cable tv/ cable was not working. NO ONE assisted with the move. They gave her a key and that was that. They were "upgrading " Cox cable but we did not see this in writing or were informed. Her ice machine didn't work. There were no instructions how to use the in room stackable washer and dryer. Lots of digital settings that were unclear to us. The blinds on the sliding door are very difficult for my 5 foot mother to operate. I even struggle with their massive weight. The pool has been an ongoing issue. Lots of bird poop in the pool or on the pool deck. The filter /heater also hasn't been working. We are hoping they will fix this soon. We (and I mean mostly me), was left to determine on my own why mom didn't have cable tv. She was missing a cable box on the wall. Also discovered the water wasn't hooked up to the fridge so the ice didn't work. If we're in charge at "The Gardens at Octillo ", I would offer an orientation for new people. I would offer a quiet dining area. I would not put things on the menu that don't exist. They say there is late night snack of cottage cheese, fruit etc...but this is not true. No one knows why it's listed at the bottom of the weekly menus. As they say in the military, "They need to tighten up their ship". Value for money maybe a 4. We are waiting to see if they improve soon. Many residents have been there for years and say they've tried other places and The Gardens is their best experience.

Westbrook was a very nice senior living facility. Unfortunately, our uncle only lived three weeks.

We put our 95-year-old uncle in Westbrook a month ago. Unfortunately he only lived for three weeks. The staff was great. [Name removed] is very good at explaining everything and helped us a great deal. I would definitely put a loved one in there again.

I found that overall Gardens of Ocotillo is a good community for a senior, but isn't recommended for individuals with..

It's the element of regiment and routine that I found comforting. They could improve by having a nurse practitioner along with a physician that can make necessary adjustments readily. Because they did have an NP that would see mom routinely, but it was more fluff than substance. And in her wind down, they didn't seem to appreciate I chose my own hospice care team to see her through her final weeks. Hope this helps. I saw quite a deep decline that may not have happened if they at least had a skilled practitioner on site. Her last weeks were eminent. Overall I found Gardens well above average. I did, however, find the cost too steep near her end. I found that overall Gardens of Ocotillo is a good community for a senior, but isn't recommended for individuals with a more progressive stage of Alzheimers and Physical Disabilities.

My loved one was previously a resident at Mason Assisted Living and Memory Care and the experience was good. Based on our experience, I would recommend this facility to others. The staff are very tuned into the needs of the residents. As for Memory Care, I have no experience on that side of the facility.

Choosing this facility was easy since this was the place my mother in law liked best. Now that she is placed there, my husband and I feel like we have our life back. Since she has no concept of time we don’t feel guilty not seeing her as often as we would have, had she chosen a place closer to where we lived. We had six months of her living in our home so we got a good sense of her quirky and forgetful memory. This helps us know that when she tells us something, what is likely based on fact, and what is based on the perception of her poor memory. The one thing I hope Peakview is consistent with is helping to make sure she is keeping her portable O2 tank charged and on her person if and when she ventures out of her apartment. The staff have been friendly and accommodating when we visit, usually every 1-2 weeks. I feel that she is well looked after, and it was the right move for all concerned.

Staff is caring and friendly. Overall clean and welcoming environment. Many activities and amenities offered. Limited transportation , just weekly shopping and Dr appts. Expensive but probably commensurate with other places. There was large price increase after 6 months stay for my mom.

Mom was happy at Westbrook

[name removed] was always very upbeat, friendly and made my mother happy. I never ate the food, but sometimes it smelled very greasy.

Beautiful facility, caring staff, would recommend

To be patient as they adjust to being there and the place gets to know them and their needs. Very professional but welcoming and homey. They were very helpful.

We have mixed feelings about The Enclave at Gilbert Senior Living. The staff has almost completely turned over since my mom went to live there. The front office staff (management) has completely changed with the exception of the front desk staff. They are having trouble with turnover in the house keeping staff. She is supposed to have her apartment cleaned bi-weekly but that hasn't happened since January 2024. The food was great in the beginning. The tremendous amount of turn over in kitchen/wait staff has caused many a dispute to spill over into the dinner room from the kitchen area causing the residents to feel uncomfortable while eating meals. The food itself went from incredible in quality to over salted/over spiced to the point of being almost inedible at times. They just hired another "New Chef" & things are improving. Hopefully this will be the start of an upswing in food quality. Not to mention that there was just a monthly rent hike of over 3%. The activities are mostly before dinner. Nothing really goes on past the dinner hour. Although the activities are very fun for the residents. My mom has appreciated using the physical therapy at the residence for her needs. The pool is well maintained. The staff has been very understanding & helpful when needed. It is a clean & well maintained facility & I am glad we found it.
